ASIC-PD team is hiring both junior and senior engineers, whose work scope is physical design from RTL to GSDII: design quality check, synthesis, formal check, partitioning, constraint (for both design and process), async check, timing analysis/fixing/signoff, also all related flow. Join us, you will work together with expertise in all these areas; you will not only work for physical application, but also drive physical friendly design with all related teams: ASIC/P&R/DFT/SI/ARCH etc.; you will work for the most advanced process/technology, the biggest chip in the world.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Develop timing analysis and timing closure methodologies, and implement flow automation for large-scale, high-speed semicustom chips based on deep submicron processes.

• Establish methodologies for timing constraints and SDC (release, including automatic constraint generation, constraint linting, and validation of timing exceptions.

• Take responsibility for EDA tool evaluation and collaborate with EDA vendors to enhance commercial timing signoff tools, constraint lint tools and spice simulation tools.

• Develop and validate flows for PT-spice regression, silicon correlation for high-speed designs.

• Develop flows/recommendations on STA and PNR in deep submicron physical effects aging, IR drop, crosstalk, noise and etc.

• Develop flows and methodologies to improve design performance, predictability, and silicon reliability.

What We Need To See:

• Master’s or PhD degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering, with 2+ years of hands-on experience in physical design implementation.

• Proven experience in synthesis, timing constraints definition, timing analysis, and timing closure.

• Advanced proficiency in commercial STA tools, such as Synopsys Prime Time, Spice, Redhawk, Cadence Tempus, Synopsys TCM, or Ausdia Time Vision.

• Solid expertise in STA principles and timing signoff processes including good knowledge of crosstalk analysis, IR-drop, electro-migration, noise, OCV, timing margins.

• Hands-on experience in advanced CMOS technologies, design with FinFET technology 7nm/5nm/3nm and beyond.

• Proficiency in at least one programming/scripting language, including Perl, TCL, Python, or C++.

• Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively in cross-functional teams.

Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd:

• Experience in flow development or automation for ASIC backend design.
